I started doing it in org-mode, and have since converted it to latex, and these sites have helped me the most - http://www.sharelatex.com/learn/Main_Page http://texblog.org/ http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX The first starts with building a basic document and has lots of examples. Then it shows you how to change things and do different things with the latex source. The last one is similar, and gives you more of the theory behind it all. The texblog poses problems and gives you solutions. It helps if you have an idea of what you achieve, and then you can gradually build your document up.
